Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: qstat: extend kdoc about get_base_stats
Date: Wed, 29 May 2024 09:29:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240529162922.3690698-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)

mlx5 has a dedicated queue for PTP packets. Clarify that
this sort of queues can also be accounted towards the base.

  * statistics will not generally add up to the total number of events for

  * between events for currently live queues and overall device history.

+ * transferred outside of the main set of queues used by the networking stack.
  * When the statistics for the entire device are queried, first @get_base_stats

  * Only statistics which are set in @get_base_stats will be reported
